It's not just Maya Jama's outfits that has us in awe on this season of Love Island All Stars, but the cascading waterfall of glossiness that is Maya Jama's hair. Every time that the host returns to our screens, we're left mystified by her ever-flawless locks. How exactly does she do it?

Taking to Instagram, we were delighted when the presenter's hair stylist, Ross Kwan, revealed the secret behind her ultra-glossy gleam. And, is a product that we're even a fan of ourselves. Having put the life-changing hair hack to the test, we can say that we totally vouch for it.

A stand-out product in Maya's routine is none other than Color Wow's Dream Coat, also loved by Kim Kardashian. A bottle sells every six seconds, and the spray makes your hair look incredibly sleek and shiny. We've actually tried the product out, so if you want our honest verdict, check out our Color Wow Dream Coat review for the full facts.

Amongst the other products used by the Love Island host are Color Wow's Money Mist, a leave-in conditioning treatment, as well as Color Wow's Pop And Lock, a styling serum to lock in irresistible shine and softness. Salons everywhere use the highly recommended range to create red carpet-worthy hair, so it's no surprise it's used by Maya Jama's hairstylist too.

Last year, Ross even sat down exclusively with heat to reveal another of Maya's haircare favourites, and it's much more affordable than you'd think. The hair product is currently just £5, with reviewers saying it leaves your hair incredibly soft to the touch.

"Adding a heat protector and a high shine product like the TRESemmé Lamellar Shine Finishing Hair Oil will really help to give the hair an extra boost of shine. If the hair is healthy, it really helps with how the finishing looks once it is styled," Ross told us.

This gorgeously, ultra-glossing serum leaves your hair feeling sleek and shiny yet not at all greasy according to reviews. Yes, it's the more expensive alternative to the Tresemme Lamellar Shine Oil, but Maya Jama loves them both - so you really can't go wrong.

Of course, Maya Jama's collaboration with Beauty Works has meant that the Love Island host wears the Beauty Works clip-in extensions to add length and volume to her already incredible hair. In the first episode, we see Maya wearing the 26-inch Super Sleek Invisi Ponytail to give her locks that extra touch of drama.

All in all, we're taking notes and you can bet we're adding Maya Jama's full haircare routine to our beauty arsenal in order to replicate the star's super shiny tresses.
